Blue tank are hardy......The achilles are the one that hard to keep away from ich....

Yeah no problems here. Id make sure the ones you get dont seem to stressed and maybe have been at the store for a while without any ich. If you have a UV its a great advantage with tangs

If you are near Brea, Happy fish and Pets has about 30 small and 30 medium sized Blue Tangs cheap. I got a deal on three small Blue Tangs and the price were almost 50% off of what other LFS charges.

The small ones (not tiny) were listed $20 and the med ones listed at $25. I got two small ones for $30 total. None of the 30+ blue tangs had ich and they all ate. This was last week so if youre traveling far make sure you call to see if they have them still. Im not sure how they sell them cheap but I think he buys them in bulk because he has a tank with 75+ small perculas, 50+ yellow tangs, 30+ blue tangs.
